freedom hawk
Freedom Hawk kayaks have always been designed for the shallows, but the new Pathfinder model was built to fish in two to 200 feet of water. Stand and pole without wobbling, sit and paddle in comfort, or troll and motor to get to your favorite fishing spot fast. The Pathfinder features the same patented outriggers as the Freedom 12 series, but the former’s can be positioned in three different configurations for maximum efficiency. At 14 feet 2 inches, the Pathfinder is a good choice for extended trips, and because of its upswept bow and extended freeboard, you’ll remain dry even in choppy open-sea conditions.The boat has inserts for an optional motor mount, and there’s even a recessed area behind the seat designed for a battery to simplify the transition from paddling to motoring, though this spot is also a great place to stash fly boxes or camera gear. $1,395; www.freedomhawkkayaks.com
